The short film “Cracking Chirality” produced by the absurdly talented Day’s Edge Productions and The Camille and Henry Dreyfus Foundation, Inc. was published online today and will on Curiosity Stream shortly. Dusty Studio did the animation with myself and Miles Mason doing the stop motion, Phillip Evans doing much of the illustration and Yalan Wen doing the motion graphics. Thanks Neil, Nathan, Page, Kori and Alex for begin so easy to work with. :)
“Cracking Chirality” from Chemistry Shorts™ explores how the essential molecules of life, like DNA, RNA, and proteins, acquired their homochiral structures and how magnetic rocks at the bottom of a prebiotic lake, may have set the stage for life as we know it.
